Not guilty plea in Danbury child porn case

DANBURY -- A 22-year-old Danbury man pleaded not guilty to child pornography charges in state Superior Court on Monday.

Tyler Czado, of 6th Street, is accused of possession of child pornography and promoting a minor in an obscene performance.

Czado was arrested as the result of an investigation by the Connecticut State Police computer crimes unit that began Jan. 13 after a trooper found the Internet address of a computer he used showed up on a file-sharing program used to exchange images of child pornography, according to court documents.

State and Danbury police executed a search warrant on the home where Czado lived with his parents in April 2013 and seized the computer. They also interviewed Czado at the University of New Haven, where he was a student, and seized his laptop.

Images of children ranging from infants to an 8-year-old old being molested by both men and women were found on both devices, police said. He was arrested by state police on March 27.
